Librato SmartSuspend provides seamless batch job preemption. When SmartSuspend is instructed by a job scheduler (e.g. Platform LSF) to preempt a low priority job, it frees all related system memory and the application license (if applicable). When SmartSuspend is instructed to resume the suspended job, it pulls memory back in and reacquires the application license (if applicable) and the job continues from where it left off.

SmartSuspend ensures that no compute cycles are lost, thereby increasing job throughput while maximizing server utilization. In addition, SmartSuspend ensures that organizations utilize application licenses as efficiently as possible.
